Yin Xiaochuan lay on the grass of the football field, like a flower that had completely withered in the winter, listless and without a trace of life... Or else he might as well just lie there until the end of time, Yin Xiaochuan thought.
Escaping cannot solve the problem, but at least it can solve yourself.
Being confused is like driving on a highway in a foggy day. You don’t know how many cars are ahead of you; you also don’t know how many people are urging you behind you; and you don’t know when the next exit will come.
At this time, you will think about life and wonder, what is the purpose of life?
...Yin Xiaochuan felt guilty towards everyone and uneasy about Jin Yunshan's radicalism, and felt that he should do something. But when this thought came up, he had no idea what to do.
It was like falling into the bottom of the sea. The surroundings gradually became darker and deeper. Unspeakable deep-sea creatures were roaming around. There seemed to be some horrible and terrifying creatures with their eyes open thousands of feet below... I was sinking and sinking little by little.
Suddenly, I heard footsteps, like the whale song calling to the pod echoing in the deep sea.
"Ogawa?"
"...Brother Jie, is that you?"
Yin Xiaochuan closed his eyes and did not stand up to greet Shao Yujie. He didn't know when some grass debris had stuck to his nose, tickling him, but Yin Xiaochuan was too lazy to reach out and scratch it.
Shao Yujie silently looked at his friend who was lying in the sun like a corpse, feeling unhappy. He walked over, placed a booklet next to Yin Xiaochuan's head, and carefully removed the grass debris from Yin Xiaochuan's nose.
"Xiaochuan, I thought about it and found that what the principal said makes sense!"
"So, I was wrong after all, right?"
"That's not what I meant... You're not wrong, but that doesn't mean what the principal said is wrong! Xiaochuan, think about it carefully, why can the principal convince so many people, why did he only say this to us and not to you——"
"Because, except for you, most of us don't really know what we want. We just think what you said is right and your idea is good, so we decided to do it with you!"
"Some people do it because they think it's meaningful, some are dissatisfied with the current situation... and there are even many people who just think it's fun and interesting. Being able to overthrow the principal... sounds so interesting!"
"But, can you defeat the principal with just these? Xiaochuan, I believe that few people know the principal better than you. You don't think that such a shallow belief is enough to push Principal Xu off the stage, right?"
"I think what we lack most now is the right ideas!"
"We need a correct thought to guide us and let us know what we really want! It's not about following the crowd, it's not about whoever makes sense is right. It must be that each of us reaches a consensus on our own beliefs!"
After a moment of silence, Yin Xiaochuan said, "Brother Jie, your tone... is a bit similar to what the principal said to me when he left me alone that day. Am I really that shallow?"
Shao Yujie still doesn't know what Principal Xu said to Yin Xiaochuan alone that day, which ultimately led to Yin Xiaochuan's broken heart. He shook his head and said:
"Xiaochuan, I put a booklet next to you, remember to read it."
"I'll see."
Shao Yujie had no choice but to take out a bag of bread and a box of yogurt and put them on the booklet, saying:
"Then I'll go to class first."
"Um."
Yin Xiaochuan closed his eyes, and the golden light shone on his face, finally showing some warmth. Yin Xiaochuan suddenly felt a kind of comfort, which made him feel sleepy after tossing and turning at night, and he seemed to be in a half-asleep and half-awake state.
…
It was not until he heard the rustling sound of footsteps on the lawn again that Yin Xiaochuan suddenly woke up and subconsciously asked, "Brother Jie, you're here again?"
A voice sounded:
"Xiaochuan and Shao Yujie love each other so much. In ancient times, there was Boya and Ziqi, and now there is Xiaochuan Ajie. It's easy to get a lot of money, but it's hard to find a close friend. It's really enviable!"
Yin Xiaochuan suddenly sat up from the ground, staring at the man in front of him, wearing a casual sportswear and smiling at him. He swallowed his saliva and said dryly:
"Principal? Why are you here?"
"As a principal, shouldn't it be your duty to catch students lying on the lawn and basking in the sun during class time?"
"But to be honest, it doesn't matter to me whether you attend class or not. It doesn't matter if you strike, or if you give speeches to incite students, or if you plan demonstrations."
Yin Xiaochuan was stunned. What on earth had Jin Yunshan and the others done?
I originally thought that Jin Yunshan and his men were just relatively radical, but now I realize that they are more than just radical, they are simply extreme. According to their development trend, I am afraid that within a week, they will launch an uprising to assassinate the principal and seize power by force.
"——Are you worried about classmate Jin Yunshan?"
Principal Xu had a sharp gaze and could see what Yin Xiaochuan was thinking at a glance.
Yin Xiaochuan could only agree.
Principal Xu smiled and said, "Student Jin Yunshan is very good at organizing grassroots movements, and he has the style of the last century. But he lacks popularity. No matter what he does, there is no response. It is obvious that people do not recognize him very much."
"In the end, it seems to be just a minor incident. On the contrary, because of the extreme measures, it aroused everyone's disgust and ruined your originally good popularity... and also sympathized with you as a failed former leader. After all, everyone thinks that you are the one behind the scenes."
"And you, as the mastermind behind this, Mr. Ogawa, why do you watch your followers fight while you yourself lazily bask in the sun?"
"I--" Yin Xiaochuan stammered, unable to speak.
Principal Xu smiled.
"Actually, the real reason I came to see you this time was just to take a look."
"——After being slapped, Ogawa-san, I wonder if he will become depressed."
…Why do normal idioms sound so strange in your mouth!
What do you mean I can't get up after being hit? You made me feel like I was being cruelly persecuted physically and mentally!
...Although I am indeed very sad now, I am not that sad, okay!
"Principal, if you have something to say, just say it! Don't beat around the bush!"
"Okay... I'll just say it straight then."
"Mr. Ogawa, do you feel that all your good intentions have gone to waste?"
"Do you feel like you did all this with good intentions, but ended up with such a bad result?"
"Do you feel that... good people don't get rewarded?
